[Pythoncard-users] Add text string directly to HtmlWindow?

[Ted C. <te...@Te...>]

I've been working with PythonCards as a framework to develop a 
hyperCard-like application utilizing the "card stack" format that 
hyperCard popularized. In my version, I want each "card" to be a tiny 
HTML window, and the user can click on a radio button to switch between 
editing HTML code for the card (using the codeEditor component) and 
viewing the card (using the HtmlWindow component).

The problem I'm having now is that the HtmlWindow.text field only seems 
to accept a filename or URL, but not literal text. I'd like to be able 
to say, e.g.,

    HtmlWindow1.text = 'This is <b>sample</b> text'

and have that displayed as HTML text in the window. Any chance the 
HtmlWindow component could be tweaked to allow that?
